Clear Skies again. Solar activity is Very Low with no flares in the last two days. We have four regions with a total area of 270 millionths. the four regions support a total of 30 Sun Spots and the largest area is still AR2542. Today my usual three full disk images and close ups in the different wavelengths.

Well, I did submit the images, data and calculations for the Planetary Transit Special Award.  The pictures show the over 2 foot picture of the composite images of the Sun and a close up showing the parallax between the two sites.  The idea is to calculate the distance between the Sun and Earth ( 1 AU) using this information.  I believe I did not bad, so we’ll wait and see what the coordinator of this program says.
